To overcome our fear of inadequacy, we need more prayer and biblical meditation so that our reliance on God is strengthened. Knowing that God shares our burden, we become motivated to work in the power of the Holy Spirit
We must recognize that our inadequacy enables God to show the great things. HE can do with so little. Judges 6 : 15, Moses and David were mere shepherds, and Gideon was least among Israel’s men, yet God accomplished amazing facts through them.
Let us remember Paul in 2 Corinthians 12 : 9,
“I will rather boast about my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may dwell in me”
2 Corinthians 3:1-6(0497 19 II 2008)
Are we beginning to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some people, letters of recommendation to you or from you? You yourselves are our letter, written on our hearts, known and read by everybody. You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts. Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God. Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God. He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant— not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
